Pretty good, and you have all of humankind’s bad habits to thank for it. The more our oceans and forests are destroyed, the more opportunities there will be for you guys. Many environmental scientists work for the government; others work for engineering, oil or gas companies. Remember the disaster in The Gulf in 2010 that BP is lovingly paying to clean. Some “ecopreneurs” have started up their very own businesses. Think: Mom n’ Pop’s Environmental Science Shop. Wipe your feet on the mat before you come in.
